Second the Brother PTouch - I actually use the 2430PC. Lots of tape options up to 1" and lots of color choices. They make a security tape to we use for quick asset tags - leaves behind a checkerboard if you try and peel it off. The PC label software is easy and you can do lots of custom graphics, truetype fonts, etc... We also have a few standalone Brother's with QWERTY when labels are needed away from our desks. As mentioned, flags do hold better than wrapping. The other item is the non-stick scissors - Fiskers makes a couple of nice ones. Regular ones get gummed up when cutting lots of the label tape. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YNI688?keywords=fiskers%20non-stick&qid=1452443576&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Okay. So I’m going to stop being a sanctimonious prick and give some information on structured teaching. I know this will probably be a long post, but there will be links.
TEACCH is a formal program out of Universal of North Carolina. Structured teaching uses elements of TEACCH. Whereas TEACCH is a formal, rigid system. You have to use all elements in a rigid structure. It is like the difference between PECS and picture communication.
In both systems you can create structured work systems. Here is more information on structured work systems.
I’ll deviate for a second. Usually what I do in a classroom if I’m doing rotations is, the student will go from small group instruction for reading, writing, math, and then to individual work. I may add in fine motor or reading. It made the classroom flow. During the day, I would try to work in work with teacher so I could do DTT or similar to work on IEP goals.
Here are the rules of work tasks. I posted this for my aides. There are many examples of work tasks. Work tasks should have instructions on how to complete them.
So what can be used in a task box? I get lots of things for free on the internet. I subscribe to a lot of blogs that give free resources. Autism Educators is a stellar place to get resources. Many people use file folders but I don’t like them because I hate that much laminating. There are also magnetic tasks.
You are going to need visuals. Autistic students are visual thinkers. Visual schedules are the most important thing to have in any autism classroom. Not only are visuals used in schedules, they need to be used around the classroom. One of the best is a first/then card. If you are using a picture schedule, you can use small pictures from your schedule. I also use the language with my students. First work, then lunch. Visuals will help with transitions (which is a difficult thing with autism kiddos). It will also help move students through non-preferred activities.
Academics. There are a lot of levels of academics. Adding and writing sentences are academics. So are things like sorting and patterning. They are functional academics. For a preferred activity, it should be something fun. Play dough, coloring, legos, music, reading, etc.
So resources. You will need visuals. Boardmaker is expensive and hard to use. I use lLessonPix. It is $36 a year. You can create schedules, visual cards, symbol cards, first then cards, etc. You will need a laminator and laminating sheets. I usually use 5 mil laminating sheets for schedules and anything the students will use. For things on walls I can get away with 3 mil. This is what I bought. It is a very good laminator that heats up fast. I also buy all my laminating sheets from them because they are the cheapest. Make sure that if you are going from 5 mil to 3 mil, you turn the laminator down to 3 mil or there will be a burning smell (not that I’ve done that 2 or 3 times). You will probably need velcro too. It is best to buy it in bulk rolls, because it is a whole lot cheaper. If you don’t buy dots, buy a good pair of titanium scissors. The glue from velcro won’t gum up the scissors.
I had a two day training on this. I’m trying to give you the condensed version for your information. I hope I did an adequate job. If you want any help, let me know. I’m really good at visuals and visual schedules.
